A police inspector who strangled his wife before dumping her body in a lake has been found guilty of murder.
Darren McKie had racked up debts of more than £100,000 fraudulently applying for loans in his wife Leanne's name without her knowledge.
He made 15 loan applications in one day a week before his wife's death - eight in his name and seven in hers.
Leanne McKie was a fellow police officer with Greater Manchester Police and was described by colleagues as "popular and professional".
She and her husband had three children and were thought of by friends as "the perfect couple".
In a statement after the trial at Chester Crown Court, Mrs McKie's parents Ray and Ellen Dodd said: "Justice has been served today. Our lives will never be the same again.

"There are no winners in this trial. We have lost our beautiful daughter and our grandchildren have lost their beloved mummy."
When Leanne McKie discovered the extent of their debt towards the end of last September she sent two texts to her husband describing him as a liar and asking "are we in such a mess?"
On the same day he strangled her before driving her car down the road to make it look as though she was not at home.
He then walked back to meet a surveyor who had come to value their house in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
The surveyor described McKie's demeanour as "perfectly normal".
Witnesses saw him laughing as he picked his children up from school later that day.
During the night he drove his wife's body to Poynton Park several miles away and threw her into the lake.
As he walked home he was stopped by a night-shift police patrol before being allowed to continue his journey home.

The shoes were later found dumped in a wheelie bin.

Reverse-Seared Steak Time 45 to 55 minutes, plus lighting the grill Reverse-searing is a grilling technique for steak that ensures a dark, sizzling crust and a rosy center that is perfectly cooked to your desired degree of doneness. This brilliant grilling method combines the low and slow cooking of traditional barbecue with the high heat charring practiced at steakhouses. Though it works well with any thick steak, from picanha to porterhouse, this recipe calls for a cut of steak popularized in Santa Maria, Calif., and is today known and loved across the U.S. as tri-tip. As the name suggests, it’s a triangular or boomerang-shaped steak cut from the tip of the sirloin, blessed with a robust beefy flavor.
